Memory Foam Pads
Do memory foam mattress top or pads really work? Looking at all other toppers on the market today they’re really just doesn’t seem to be anything to compare to the way a memory foam mattress pad works. A memory foam pad will conform to your body and helps reduce pressure on your joints. One of the reasons that memory foam is so unique is the way that memory foam cells deform when they’re under a load.
The difference between a standard foam pad and a memory foam pad, is that the foam cells compress fully and spread their air pressure to adjoining cells in memory foam. Whereas normal foam will want to spring back to its original shape immediately.
Memory foam is an open cell foam, which basically means that the cells of the foam has holes all of them. Because of this, it allows the memory foam to actually reduce the pressure points on the body while you’re laying on it. No other material for bedding has this custom style of shaping to your body like memory foam.
In addition to all this, memory foam is sensitive to the temperature of your body. So basically what this means is that the lower the temperature is, the harder the foam is. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the higher the temperature is the more elastic or softer the foam feels. For this reason memory foam is also known as viscoelastic foam.
Being temperature sensitive gives memory foam a unique feeling. If you have never experienced the feeling of memory foam, you should go out to your nearest mattress store and lay on a memory foam bed. It truly is a feeling like no other. As your body temperature heats up the memory foam, it ain’t melting feeling that you’re lying down on the foam. This also accounts for the custom molding effect from the foam. There are several brands of memory foam topper such as, Tempur-Pedic, and Postur-pedic.
Foam mattress pads have had a lot of good success with helping people with chronic pain, also with arthritis and fibromyalgia. But for the more ordinary person who just wakes up with your average aches and pains, memory foam pads work extremely well to make it more comfortable, and to relieve those pressure points that are causing those aches and pains.
